    Tasker Stuck on 'Loading Tasker' Screen on Android 9 Car Unit

    Elon shen · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    'Loading Tasker'

    I'm currently experiencing an issue with Tasker on my Android 9 car unit. The app gets stuck on the 'Loading Tasker' screen and doesn't proceed further. My car unit runs on Android 9

    I've tried restarting the device, clearing the app cache, and even uninstalling and reinstalling Tasker, but the issue persists.

    HTML link to download Direct Purchase version

    Max Pal · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    After buying the direct purchase version (for degoogled phone without Play Store), the link to download the app redirects to a Google Drive.

    Would it be possible to host the APK file on a normal HTML page ?

    Because a lot of people without Play Store use some sort on updating app like Obtainium to check and dowload for an update, but this is not compatible with Google Drive wich require a user action with Javascript.

    Thanks !

    %anextras variable in autonotification does not populate any longer

    George Leder · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It appears that %anextras variable isn't populating after a text message is received and notification is intercepted by Autonotification.  I noticed this after running ADB permissions app a couple of months ago but I'm not sure ADB program had anything to do with this issue.  Help is needed to get it working again.

    Call Forward not working after android 14 upgrade

    Larry Kennedy · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Call forwarding always worked for me until the Android 14 upgrade.   I have a Samsung S22+. 

    Now, Tasker launches the phone app, but it doesn't actually dial the number. It just sits there and I have to press dial.  To forward, I'm dialing the Verizon *72 sequence. I verified that I have the auto dial box checked.

    Oddly, call Forward End *73 still works.

    Ability to modify Maximum Tasks Queued using the Set Tasker Prefs. action

    Would be beneficial for certain scenarios where a user may want to increase or decrease maximum tasks queued at different times without needing to manually do it inside of Tasker.

    Can't enter tasker if it is left on a locked project

    Adam · 0 · Posted

    I have several projects at the bottom. A few of them are locked. If I am in one of the locked projects, and then leave or close the app, then when I next open the app, I am naturally prompted for the lock code. However, if I don't have the lock code, then it forces me to leave the app. I can't find any way to switch to another project. I think it should allow for the option to switch to another project that isn't locked, given that "lock on startup" is not enabled.

    Tasker Active/Inactive State

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    It would be really useful if there was a variable, something like %ACTIVE that could be used in profiles to note when a task is running. It would be the same as using %TRUN !Set, but if possible, set to true and false when tasks run or not so that many profiles don't need to check for the turn state every time it changes.

    AutoLocation Backup/Restore

    A Harper · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sent to support email, but trying here as well... I know from this closed post:

    https://tasker.helprace.com/i1649-autolocation-can-t-backup-and-restore

    That there is an update to AutoLocation to allow backup/restore on newer devices. However, that update isn't available yet on the Play Store (I am in the Autolocation beta). I cannot sideload apps on my device due to Work profile policy.

    Can a fixed version be made available on the Play Store?

    %app_apk_public_source_dirs() returned by the App Info action contains variable names and duplicates when Package/App Name is provided through a variable

    I have issues · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    App Info output variable %app_apk_public_source_dirs() returns the paths to split APK files belonging to an app. When App Info receives the package name through a variable, for example when in the enter task of a profile triggered by event New Package or Package Updated which passes the package name in %evtprm2, the output contains duplicates and variable names %app_apk_public_source_dirs[numbers up to 10].

    For example, we install Simple Flashlight from the Play Store (so it consists of multiple APKs) and set Package/App Name in App Info to com.simplemobiletools.flashlight. %app_apk_public_source_dirs() returns:

    /data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.en.apk,/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.xxhdpi.apk

    Changing depth of video element restarts all videos

    Streisand · 1 · Last reply by Streisand

    Using the Element Depth action on a video element causes all videos in the scene go black and restart. This is annoying because videos take several seconds to restart.

    Happens no matter what combination of element or scene settings there is.

    kill the app on Android 14

    Taras Ivashchuk · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used to kill the app with the help of built in command in Tasker in Android 13. What I have noticed is that after Android update to 14 this feature doesn't work as it is expected. Say I want to kill the Firefox running, and after I trigger the kill command I still observe Firefox running as nothing had happened to it. I also used the adb command am force-stop but the output was the same.

    how to bring an app to the foreground

    Remko van Dokkum · 0 · Posted

    I like to bring a running app to the foreground.

    When I use the Launch app command it starts the app with its start screen.

    Same as you would start the app when it was not running.

    I need the app to stay on the screen it is on and only be brought to the foreground.

    Same as if you would switch to an running app by hand.

    On My Google Pixel 7 Android 14 the alarm notification "00:00" occours again. Resetting "use reliable alarms" to never has only a temporary effect, after a minute the alarm notification occurs again. Also clear the data and cache does not help?

    Connected to specific Wifi does not work always

    Björn Kautler · 1 · Last reply by Björn Kautler

    I have a Wifi I regularly connect to. I have a Tasker profile that reacts to this Wifi being connected to and does some tasks. I recently enabled "Private DNS" setting in Android. Unfortunately this specific Wifi does not allow encrypted DNS (a.k.a. Private DNS). This means, I can connect to the Wifi successfully, but internet access over that Wifi is not working (exclamation mark besides the wifi symbol, internet not working with disabled mobile data).

    I wanted to make Tasker disable "Private DNS" when connected to that Wifi and re-enable it when disconnecting to that Wifi. Unfortunately, this does
